(SPOT.ph) It's been more than two decades since Yu Yu Hakusho, better known as Ghost Fighter here, first landed on our screens. Trust us, we're not trying to be rude. We're just pointing out that in a few weeks, after years we spent not even knowing we we're waiting, we'll finally be able to watch the live-action adapatation of Netflix. And to get u even more excited, they've finally dropped a teaser trailer as part of Geeked Week 2023. We'll keep quiet for now and let you watch below.

Netflix drops teaser trailer for live-action Yu Yu Hakusho

The trailer opens with scenes from Yusuke's death and transfromation into a supernatural detective. We've seen pics of Takumi Kitamura as Yusuke (a.k.a. Eugene) before, but seeing him in action is something else altogether. There are glimpses of all sorts of characters, from everyone's old crush Kurama (Jun Shison), better known as Dennis here and even villains. 

We're a little surprised by Koenma here, but hey, at least he keeps his pacifier. And fingers crossed we hear the theme song during the series itself.

The trailer ends with a bang, from none other than the rei gun itself. We're getting ready to harness the power of it from our couches come release date December 14, much like we used to when we were kids.

We've been waiting for the live-action series since 2021. Right now, we're still riding the high sails from the One Piece adaptation, so there's equally high hopes for this nostalgic series. 

What even is Yu Yu Hakusho?

For the uninitiated, the Ghost Fighter series of the '90s is what gave us lines like "Tapusin! Tapusin! Tapusin!" or the very #hugot "Nagkamali ako para umasa sayo nang malaki. Hindi sulit na ibigay sa’yo ang 100% ng aking kapangyarihan." It follows Yusuke Urameshi (a.k.a. Eugene) as he atones for his sins in the afterworld by becoming a supernatural detective—using his immediately recognizable signature rei gun (or "Spirit Gun").
